Hollow Black Wide Oval Ceramic Sculpture on Small Feet

About the Item

A new series of small sculptures in the Modern Totemic vein. Not exactly humanistic, but they do have feet and personality. They are abstracted, offering a feeling of historic beings, of something from the past, or the future. There is life but where is it from? While making these I think of all the different life forms found on earth, from the molecular to the human. From the deepest oceans to the sky, lifeforms exist in unimaginable shapes. As I discover each one I feel I am being introduced to someone, something with a life and history of its own. As in most of my work I am interested in abstracting the idea, simplifying it to its most basic essence. Here it is a Hollow Oval Form With Seven Little Stubby Feet. Using my favorite dark chocolate clay body and hand building each piece, each foot, the first in this edition are coated in a rich black slip. This slip has a remarkable depth, showing the clay body, the artist's hand, and a fine sheen. It is black with dark brown undertones. While it is fully fired, it is still porous so do not submerge in water, best to handle with gloves. Signed with Artist's Chop underneath.
